The team needs your help

Help us light the Nina Mason Pulliam Beacon of
Hope for the Simon Skjodt International Orangutan Center!

The Simon Skjodt International Orangutan Center is
a one of a kind exhibit which will attract visitors from around the
country, enhance the Indianapolis Zoo's reputation as one of the world's
best institutions, and encourage positive actions to help save
orangutans from extinction. We cannot bring this vision into reality,
however, without help.

With your help, the Indianapolis Zoo has built the
orangutans coming to Indianapolis a spectacular and unique home - the
only facility that can keep these orangutans together in an exhibit
specifically designed to meet their physical, social, and intellectual
needs.

This best in the world habitat will draw millions
of new visitors, instill learning, enable research, empower action, and
enhance our downtown skyline. With its unique design, it will become a
beacon for the city, for other zoos, and for orangutans in the wild.
